20260412890The Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) program at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) is the first academic program in Landscape Architecture in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East established in 1976 (1396 AH). The BLA program is accredited (with condition) by the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment. The BLA is a four-year program consisting of a total of 155 credit hours. The curriculum focuses on enhancing students' practical skills and knowledge of the art and science of landscape architecture through discipline-specific courses and studios, electives, and general education courses required by the university. The foundation of the BLA curriculum is a series of eight intensive design studios. The selection of topics, sites, contexts, and landscape-scale of each design studio builds on the previous studio in an ever-increasing level of difficulty and consideration of details and ideas. In the first two years, the studios focus on the basic design principles, process, analysis, and details in Landscape Architecture. The third-year studios cover urban design and landscape planning topics—the finalyear studios are designated for the professional practice and graduation project.
We strive to be a pioneering department in the sciences and art of landscape architecture, contributing to the understanding, formation, improvement and protection of the natural, human, and built environments.
To provide an outstanding comprehensive application of scientific knowledge combined with technical, creative and critical thinking skills to produce graduates who will become responsible, ethical, and contributing leaders within the field of landscape architecture with the lifelong learning skills necessary to address the complex and continuous challenges of the 21st-century society and environment.
